No. This is violation of the City Code. These signs will be immediately removed and disposed of by city staff, the violator will be placed on a violation call list and will be required to appear at City Hall to receive a Notice of Code Violation and/or Civil Citations.

Yes. An Arbor Permit is required to cut down, substantially alter, destroy, move or effectively destroy any tree in the City. This includes trees on single family lots as well as commercial and multi-family properties. Arbor permits are only issued for trees that are dead, dying or in imminent danger of damaging property. There are separate arbor permits for commercial/multi-family/homeowner associations and one- and two-family dwellings.

These types of vehicles can only be parked in a side yard behind the front plane of the structure, rear yard or stored in the garage at a single family dwelling. They cannot be stored in the street or in the front yard area, including the driveway.

A commercial vehicle is one that requires a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) to operate, exceeds 10,000 GVW, longer than 21 feet long, a bus that carries 16 or more passengers, taxi cabs, shuttle vans, limousines, equipment used for lifting objects, flatbed trucks, stake bed trucks, wreckers, farm equipment, dump trucks and earth moving equipment. These vehicles are not allowed to be parked in a residential neighborhood. Sport utility vehicles, family vans not transporting passengers for a fee, standard manufactured pickup trucks and dual rear wheel pickup trucks used for personal use are allowed to be parked in a residential neighborhood.

Vehicles parked outside of a garage must have current tags affixed to the vehicle at all times. The vehicle does not have to be regularly driven, however, if required by Code Enforcement a vehicle owner may need to verify the vehicle properly operates and is road worthy. For vehicles being repaired outside of the structure, wrecked, inoperative and dismantled vehicles may not remain for more than five (5) days and then must be moved within a fully enclosed building such as a garage or shed. A carport does not qualify as an enclosed building.
